NEW KITTEN BABIES

So this year I got two new kittens. My other cat Drake had to be put down for medical reasons, so sad and hard. My new babies are perfect and I am so grateful for them!!!!! First of all Feline Rescue Inc. in Minnesota is the best rescue organization I have ever known. I love them and the work they do.

FORGIVING YOURSELF

"Going ahead and choosing to keep living your life everyday is the act of forgiving yourself! When the old tapes or shaming voices tell you, you're not worth it or you don't deserve to move on and live your life, you can tell those voices to shut up and that there not helpful or constructive. You can use that same I've had enough attitude and don't want to take it anymore energy and use it to live instead of trying to use that energy to harm or end your life. And the difference now is you have the knowledge and the professional help and are trying to build supports in your life and you have the dire will for change!" Lacey W.

My friend commented on this and wrote... "Yes! Absolutely. Forgiving yourself is more than it seems! To wake up everyday and really show yourself and those voices that you are willing to love yourself enough to do so, shut those voices up in itself. Forgiving those voices, while proving them wrong."
